Ya, the biggest communist country on the face of the Earth enjoys "Most
Favored Nation" status with the US, while a little podunk two-bit communist
country like Cuba is supposedly a "threat" to American Security. Hogwash.
Castro merely ****ed-off US corporations and Big Money by nationalizing
American businesses in Cuba and getting rid of their favorite son,
Batista -- a bonafide son-of-a-bitch if ever there has been one.

If Nancy and Harry get their way, foreign interests will be the least of
the
batches of businesses to be taken over and run by the geniuses in guvmint.


Based on what? One sentence in the CBO report? Still waiting for you to give
us suggestions about how to get out of the financial mess caused by Bushco.
So far, all I've heard from you is how terrible the liberals are doing or
will do.

One thing they should do is stop trying to free up more credit...people
cannot borrow when they have no money to repay..that's what got us into
this in the first place..people borrowing what they never could or
intended to repay...extending more credit is certainly no answer...

I certainly agree with you on this one, katy,

But "when your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like nails"
seems to apply in spades...

No one wants people borrowing money they can't repay, and it was certainly
part (but not all) of the problem. Another part of the problem was bundling
these unstable loans and reselling them over and over. That magnified the
problem. There was little or no regulation, and despite Dave's assertions to
the contrary, a big part of that problem was lack of regulation and/or lack
of enforcement (e.g., Madoff is a great example of the latter).

I think you believe that the relm of "freeing up credit" is reserved for
individual consumers, especially those who don't have money. This is not the
case. It's a much bigger problem for those who have decent credit and want
to buy a car, say from GM or from the RV company in the town Obama visited
recently, and it's even a bigger problem for small businesses who can't get
the credit they need to run their business.

Banks don't want to make loans... to anyone. This is a huge part of the
problem.

You just keep chanting that mantra, Jon. It'll make you feel better when the
rest of the folks catch on to what actually happened.

Actually, there is plenty of blame to spread all around on all sides
of the political spectrum.
I'd love to see a national push to "dump the incumbent" campaign. Our
political system was never intended as a lifelong money teat for a few
individuals and look where it's gotten us!

Agreed... there's plenty of blame to go around. Dave is unwilling to blame
Bush for any of it. Butter wouldn't melt in Bush's mouth.
